Some boys never grow up!

My son is an adrenalin freak - he once sent us a postcard from New Zealand which said 'I can think of nothing I want to do more than spend my life jumping out of a perfectly good aeroplane at 13,000 feet with another fellah strapped to my back!' He had just done his first tandem parachute jump and went on to do two more. Forget bungee jumping - unless he can go and do the highest in the world, in South Africa, he's done all that he wants and they're all too tame. Having already tried skate boarding as a youngster, and then wake boarding (the same thing but on water and without wheels: that one gave him concussion and a permanently scarred head) of course he naturally gravitated in NZ to hurtling down mountains like dragons' teeth on a snow board. It's his birthday today (he's spending it snowboarding in Poland) and this stamp cried out to me for his card as soon as I saw it. Happy 37th birthday Julian!
